Dial 3-2732 THE GARDEN DEPARTMENT GARDEN SERVICE By GORDON LINDSAY SMITH In gardening 2s in a lot of other things the simplest design is usu- ally the most effective, and for the non-professional it is also much the easiest. Except, of course, along walks, walls and similar fixed fea- tures it is best to avoid straight lines both in the flower garden #nd in laying out shrubs, and trees. The experts strongly advocate planting in clumps, with two or three or more {depending on the size) of each plant in a group. For the centre and foreground nothing is better than a real good lawn. On city lots this may only be a few Sguare yards. The grass sets off the whole layout and it should lead up to the flower garden with possibly shurbs or trees or a vine covered trellis or fence in the background. or as a division between say a kitchen or vegetable garden plot at the rear. . Shrubs and flower borders are also used to line driveways and fences. Against the house itself but at least a foot or so in front, one can plant groups of shrubs or taller flowers, In the flower garden or border the informal or clump planting is continued. Rather than setting out d rows, one should plant groups of various flowers with the little things like alyssum, dwarf asturtiums. lobelias and so on, front. Taller things like zinnias, petunias, asters towards the centre and really tall flowers such as cos- mos, marigolds and delphiniums at the rear. FOR BOUQUETS For bouquets for our own table and for giving to friends, garden authorities urge a special row or two of flowers in the vegetable gar- iat Simplest Garden Design Usually Most Effective Ld den. Given regular cultivation these will grow vigorously and the bloom can be cut often without marring the beauty of the regular flower garden. Almost all fair sized flow- ers wil do under these condi- tions, and some like gladiolus and sweet peas are best grown here in any case as their foliage is not particularly attractive. It's a good plan to save a little séed in each packet from the regular planting and sow in one or two rows in the vegetable garden or along the edges. From this row there will be plenty of bloom for bouquets. EARLY JOBS One of the very first planting jobs will not be in the garden outdoors at all, but in the hot bed or special flats placed in bright windows in- doors. A hot bed is simply a glass covered yard or so of special rich fine soil, heated with manure, elec- tricity or some other means. Where a lot of plants are to be started the hot bed is the ideal solution and ¢ne is advised to get a Govern- ment Bulletin on the subject and follow the directions. Where only a few dozen started plants are need- ed one can sow seed in fine soil in & shallow box and place in a sunny window. Where this is not possible or practicable one simply pur chases the started plants later on from any seed store or nursery: men, In this indoor planting it is im- portant to use fine rich soil, mox- ed with a little sand or leaf mould. One should not plant more than a few weeks before it will be safe to transplant outdoors. If these things start to grow too early they will get too tall and spindly to stand the shock of transplanting well. The first of the special flower shows of the Oshawa Horticultural Society will be its spring flower show, which is to be held in the Centre Street School auditorium in conjunction with the meeting of the society on the evening of Mon. day, May 10.

Shrubs and trees may be kept in very good condition for many days if protected this way. Roses should be pruned now, re- move dead and broken branches.

If a late frost should come, the flower: shrubs can be protected by a light covering such as an old sheet or curtain, The rockery should be closely checked.
